How to Move the Announcement Bar to the Bottom in Squarespace 7.1 (Fixed on Scroll)

Want to make your announcement bar more noticeable without distracting from your site’s header? With a small CSS tweak, you can push the Squarespace announcement bar to the bottom of the page and keep it fixed as users scroll — perfect for promotions, limited-time offers, or important updates.

This design trick works seamlessly with Squarespace 7.1 and gives your site a clean, modern layout that stands out from the standard header-only bar.

Why Move the Announcement Bar to the Bottom?

The announcement bar is often used for time-sensitive messages or calls to action. While the default placement at the top is effective, it can sometimes interfere with your navigation or banner design.

By moving the announcement bar to the bottom and making it fixed, you:

• Improve visibility without taking up header space

• Make it accessible at all times, even when scrolling

• Create a unique and professional layout style

How to Push the Announcement Bar to the Bottom

To do this, all you need is a few lines of custom CSS. Here's the code to paste into your Squarespace Custom CSS editor:

css
// PUSHED DOWN ANNOUNCEMENT BAR - GHOSTPLUGINS.COM //

.header .sqs-announcement-bar-dropzone {
  bottom: 0px !important;
  position: fixed;
  top: initial !important; 
  width: 100%;
}

What This CSS Does:

• Moves the bar from the top to the bottom using bottom: 0

• Keeps it in a fixed position so it stays visible as users scroll

• Maintains full width for full-screen visibility

Customization Options

There are no special options built into this plugin, but you can still:

• Change announcement bar colors and fonts in Squarespace site styles

• Adjust padding or shadow using additional CSS if needed

The behavior stays consistent across all screen sizes and devices, ensuring your message is always seen.
